The Week of January 1st, 2024: Gathering momentum with Mercury direct and Mars entering Capricorn

Episode 159 In this podcast, New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all. The astrology of the week of January 1st, 2024, starts out a bit measured and murky, but ends with greater speed and clarity. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations direct, but since it’s in a square to Neptune (the planet of illusions), details will remain hazy. Also on Monday, Venus (the planet of love) squares Saturn (the planet of boundaries), bringing a bit of a reality check. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) moves into Capricorn, helping us get things done. Though this week starts out slow, by the end we’ll have the motivation to initiate our plans, boldly and practically, into the new year. This episode was recorded on 11/10/2023. P.S.
